The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles, who on Sunday will square off at Raymond James Stadium for the fourth time in the last 33 months, are both 2-1 in the young 2024 season, but they got there in very different ways. And now one team is looking to restore its momentum while the other just pulled off a dramatic road win that began to show the promise of what a loaded offense may be able to deliver.

That former description belongs to the Buccaneers, who came out of the gates hot with a high-scoring demolition of Washington (which hasn't lost since) and then shocked the NFL with an emotional payback win in Detroit. Any momentum they got from staving off the Lions in Week Two dissipated in a lackluster 26-7 loss to the previously-winless Denver Broncos last Sunday.

The latter description is of the Eagles, who rallied for a 15-12 win in New Orleans in Week Three on the strength of their backfield combination of quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. Those two combined for all of the Eagles' 172 rushing yards while Hurts also threw for 311 yards, as Philadelphia more than doubled the yardage of the Saints (460 to 213). Barkley accounted for all but one of the Eagles' points, rushing for touchdowns of 65 and four yards and adding a two-point conversion.

The Buccaneers got the Broncos' best effort and, as they try to get their own energy level back up, now fully expect the Eagles to come in with a high level of intensity. That could be heightened by the fact that the Bucs have knocked the Eagles out of the playoffs in two of the last three years (Philadelphia won a regular season game in Tampa in between).

"Obviously, you have to expect it," said Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield. "[You] have to expect [that] they're coming off a big win in New Orleans, and just the type of team they are. We obviously played them twice last year – having familiarity with who they are as personnel and a coaching staff – obviously new coordinators, but personnel wise, [they're] a lot of the same pieces. So, understanding the challenges that they bring and the mentality of how physical they play. We each have to bring our best stuff on Sunday and that's each and every week, but especially this week."

The Buccaneers have handled Hurts' running reasonably well in four previous meetings, postseason included, but the Eagles' ground game is different with Barkley now involved.

"I mean, they were already a good team before they got him," said Tampa Bay Head Coach Todd Bowles. "Once they got him – he's one of the top two or three running backs in the league right now. You put that behind one of the top two or three offensive lines and you're going to have nothing but success. Then, they've got the receivers and tight end to match, so he's going to be a load to bring down. He's got quick feet, he's powerful, he's fast, he can catch, he can block, he can do it all."

After a second-half collapse by the Philly offense in 2023, it appears to be very much back on track, ranking second in the NFL in total yardage, third in rushing yardage and fifth in passing yardage. It starts with a dominant offensive line that will be tough to crack with or without Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson, who is currently in the concussion protocol. The Buccaneers haven't recorded a sack since Week One and know getting to Hurts will be one of the keys to Sunday's outcome.

"We need to get going on in the interior when the outside guys get a good rush," said Bowles. "When Vita [Vea] went down, we didn't have as much on the inside, but there's not an excuse. We've got to rush the passer no matter who is playing. I don't really care whether it's four guys, five guys, six guys, whether they're all backups or whether they're all starters, or whatever the case may be. We've got to get to the quarterback better."

Will the Bucs regain their momentum or will the Eagles continue to ascend as an elite offense? It's early in the 2024 season, but their meeting on Sunday could say a lot about how much of a contender each team is in 2024.

ALL-TIME HEAD-TO-HEAD SERIES

The Eagles occupy a prominent spot in Buccaneers franchise history. Tampa Bay has met Philadelphia five times in the postseason, double the amount against any other franchise, and that includes the first playoff game in Bucs history and the first conference championship game in team annals, as well. It also includes the last time these two teams shared a field.

After winning the NFC South for a third consecutive time in 2023, the Buccaneers opened their playoff run with a home game against the Eagles in the Wild Card round. The home team won handily, rushing out to a quick 13-0 lead and cruising to a 32-9 final. Baker Mayfield threw for 337 yards, three touchdowns and a 119.8 passer rating, completing passes to nine different players. The Bucs' defense limited the Eagles to 276 total yards and didn't allow a single third-down conversion in nine attempts.

The Bucs are 4-2 against Philadelphia in the playoffs, having also defeated the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs in 2021 by a 31-15 margin. That one wasn't as close as the score indicates, as the Bucs built a 31-0 lead in that game on the strength of Tom Brady touchdown passes to Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski. The Bucs' defense held quarterback Jalen Hurts to 38 rushing yards and one touchdown pass while intercepting him twice.

Philadelphia still leads the regular season series, 9-8, breaking the tie last season in Tampa in Week Three. Playing on the Monday Night Football stage, the Buccaneers intercepted Jalen Hurts twice but allowed 201 rushing yards, including 130 by D'Andre Swift. Tampa Bay's offense could muster just 174 yards in a 25-11 defeat. The Bucs had tied up the regular-season series in 2021 with a 28-22 win at Philadelphia in Week Six, as Leonard Fournette ran for two touchdowns in that game, balancing out the two times Hurts ran it in. The Bucs built a 28-7 and then hung on for the victory.

Two weeks into the 2018 season, the Eagles came to Raymond James Stadium after beating Tom Brady's Patriots, 41-33, in a thrilling Super Bowl LII shootout the previous February. The Buccaneers had finished that same 2017 season with a 5-11 record, though they had looked impressive in a 2018 opening-week, 48-40 win in New Orleans. The Buccaneers beat the Eagles, 27-21, with Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing four touchdown passes, including a 75-yarder to former Eagle DeSean Jackson on the first play of the game. It would be the Eagles that went back to the playoffs that season, though, earning a Wild Card berth while the Bucs slumped to 5-11 and initiated a coaching change.

Many of Tampa Bay's best moments in their head-to-head history with the Eagles have occurred in Philadelphia. There's the 2002 NFC Championship Game, of course, but the 2003 Monday Night Football season opener was a particularly satisfying win, as well. The Buccaneers were there in Philadelphia in 1999 when Donovan McNabb made his NFL debut, and they didn't exactly treat him well. Tampa Bay started its 1995 campaign by sacking Randall Cunningham five times and winning handily at Philadelphia; that was Warren Sapp's NFL debut and he had one of those five sacks. Even the Bucs' most recent trip to Philly, in 2015, was notable: At the time, the Bucs' 45-17 win over the Eagles was their highest-scoring road game ever.

The Bucs' biggest highlight in their series with the Eagles is unquestionably that aforementioned 2002 NFCC Game. The Buccaneers had seen their playoff dreams die at Veterans Stadium each of the previous two winters and had even lost in their personal house of horrors earlier in that '02 campaign. But the Bucs showed up ready to battle and overcome a long game-opening kickoff and a Philly touchdown just a minute into the game. Joe Jurevicius's unforgettable 71-yard catch-and-run began the turnaround, and the Bucs stymied McNabb for most of the night with two sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception off the prolific quarterback. Down 20-10, the Eagles mounted a late rally behind McNabb's improvisational big plays and were closing in on the end zone with five minutes left. That's when Ronde Barber made perhaps the single greatest play in team annals, intercepting a short pass and returning it 92 yards for the game-sealing touchdown.

Four seasons later, Barber terrorized McNabb again with a pair of pick-sixes in a 23-21 win at Raymond James Stadium in 2006, the game that famously ended on Matt Bryant's 62-yard field goal. Until Mike Edwards pulled off the feat in Week Two of this season against Atlanta, Barber had been the only player in team history to have two interception-return touchdowns in the same game.

Tampa Bay's very first playoff game also featured the Eagles. After winning the NFC Central in 1979, just the franchise's fourth season of existence, the Bucs got a home game to start the playoffs and beat Philadelphia, 24-17. Ricky Bell set still-standing team records for carries (38) and rushing yards (142) in a playoff game.

NOTABLE CONNECTIONS

• Tampa Bay General Manager Jason Licht had a five-year run in the Eagles' personnel department from 2003-07. He started out as the team's assistant director of player personnel but was promoted to vice president of player personnel for his final two seasons with the team.
• Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles had a short stint as the defensive coordinator in Philadelphia. After finishing the 2011 season as the Miami Dolphins' interim head coach following the in-season dismissal of Tony Sparano, Bowles joined the Eagles' staff in 2012 as the team's secondary coach. Another dismissal, this time of Defensive Coordinator Juan Castillo in October, once again bumped Bowles' title up as he took over that job for the remainder of the season.
• Buccaneers cornerback Zyon McCollum and Eagles safety Tristin McCollum are twin brothers. They both played their college ball at Sam Houston State. The Buccaneers drafted McCollum in the fifth round of the 2022 draft, while Tristin signed with the Houston Texas as an undrafted free agent. Tristin spent his rookie season on Houston's practice squad before signing with the Eagles in 2023.
• Thaddeus Lewis, who is in his second year as the Buccaneers' quarterbacks coach spent parts of eight seasons in the NFL as a quarterback with eight different teams, appearing in seven games with six starts. One of his stops was in Philadelphia, where he spent the entire 2015 season without appearing in a game.
• Philadelphia offensive tackle Fred Johnson spent half of the 2022 season with the Buccaneers. He signed in Tampa in April of 2022 and saw action in five games as a reserve before being waived at the beginning of November.
• LB Devin White is in his first season with the Eagles after spending his first five NFL years in Tampa. The fifth-overall pick in the 2019 draft, White played in 76 games with 75 starts for the Buccaneers, recording 566 tackles and 23.0 sacks.
• Guard Sua Opeta, who is on Tampa Bay's injured reserve list, played for the Eagles from 2020-23, getting into 38 games with 10 starts.

ADDITIONAL 2024 CHANGES/DEVELOPMENTS OF NOTE

Buccaneers:

• As Todd Bowles enters his third season as the Bucs' head coach he'll be working with his third offensive coordinator in as many seasons. Last year, Bowles picked former Seattle Quarterbacks Coach Dave Canales to replace Byron Leftwich, but Canales departed this offseason to take over as the head coach of the Panthers. Bowles then turned to Liam Coen, who comes from the Sean McVay coaching tree with the Rams and most recently was the offensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky. Three members of the Bucs' 2023 staff followed Canales to Carolina – Brad Idzik, Harold Goodwin and Joe Gilbert, which led to some other new additions on Bowles staff in 2024. Those include Offensive Line Coach Kevin Carberry, Pass Game Coordinator Josh Grizzard, Wide Receivers Coach Bryan McClendon and Assistant Offensive Line Coach Brian Picucci. In addition, long-time Special Teams Coordinator Keith Armstrong retired in the offseason, so the Bucs brought in Thomas McGaughey as his replacement.
• Under Coen, the Buccaneers' offense is expected to employ quite a bit more pre-snap shifts and movement than it had in 2023, and Coen also plans to widen the variety of the types of runs the ground game employees. One of Coen's other key initiatives in an attempt to get a moribund rushing attack going is to give quarterback Baker Mayfield multiple plays to choose from in the huddle and at the line so that the offense runs into unfavorable looks less often.
• Despite having tight salary cap restrictions, the Buccaneers made it a priority to retain key players from the 2023 season who were scheduled to hit free agency. General Manager Jason Licht and his staff successfully checked off every item on their list of priorities, beginning with a new two-year deal for franchise icon Mike Evans. That helped bring the team's negotiations with quarterback Baker Mayfield to a conclusion. After Mayfield played the 2023 season on a one-year prove-it deal, his resurgence landed him a lucrative new multi-year contract. The Bucs were also able to re-sign linebacker Lavonte David and kicker Chase McLaughlin. With the other deals in the works, the Bucs used the franchise tag on safety Antoine Winfield Jr. and later inking him to a new contract making him the highest-paid defensive back in the NFL.
• All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs didn't need a new contract for 2024 but he was entering the final year of his rookie deal and the Buccaneers were highly motivated to lock him in to a new long-term pact. That lengthy process came to a head on August 1, when the two sides agreed on a five-year extension that runs through the 2029 campaign and makes him the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.
• In March, the Buccaneers traded cornerback Carlton Davis, who had started 75 games over six seasons with the team, to the Detroit Lions for a third-round pick in this year's draft. The Buccaneers eventually used that pick to select Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan.

Eagles:

• The Eagles swapped out their offensive and defensive coordinators for the second offseason in a row. The first time was a necessity as both Shane Steichen and Jonathan Gannon landed head coaching gigs in 2023, leading the Eagles to hire Brian Johnson to guide the offense and Sean Desai to lead the defense. After the Eagles' second-half collapse, the team chose to move on from Johnson and Desai, hiring Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio as the defensive coordinator. Moore coordinated some very productive offenses in Dallas from 2019-22 and spent 2023 in the same position for the Chargers. Fangio brings 33 years of NFL coaching experience to the Eagles and has now held a coordinator post for seven different NFL teams.
• Also new to Nick Sirianni's staff in 2024 are Pass Game Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach Christian Parker, Senior Defensive Assistant/Defensive Line Coach Clint Hurtt, Cornerbacks Coach Roy Anderson, Safeties Coach Joe Kasper, Inside Linebackers Coach Bobby King, Quarterbacks Coach Doug Nussmeier and Offensive Assistant Kyle Valero.
• One year after getting Jalen Hurts locked into a long-term deal, the Eagles spent the 2024 offseason getting new deals done with such key players as wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, tackle Jordan Mailata and kicker Jake Elliott.
• The Eagles elected not to work out a long-term deal with star edge rusher Haason Reddick, however, instead trading him to the Jets for a 2026 conditional third-round pick that could become a second-rounder. Reddick and Myles Garrett are the only two players in the NFL to record 10-plus sacks in each of the last four seasons. Philly's defensive front also lost a long-time stalwart when Fletcher Cox retired after 12 seasons, in which he played 188 games and recorded 70 sacks.
• Similarly, the Eagles' offensive line lost its anchor for the last three seasons after center Jason Kelce retired after 13 seasons, seven Pro Bowl invitations and six All-Pro selections. As planned, the Eagles moved 2022 second-round pick Cam Jurgens from guard to center and imported former Jets tackle Mekhi Becton and converted him to guard.
• Running back D'Andre Swift had 1,263 yards from scrimmage in 2023, his first year with the Eagles after being traded from the Lions, but that was also the last year on Swift's rookie deal. That allowed Swift to hit free agency, and he chose to sign with the Chicago Bears. In addition, the Eagles released safety Kevin Byard, who they had gotten in a midseason trade with the Titans last year ,and Byard also signed with the Bears.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

• After catching two touchdown passes in the Bucs' season opener, wide receiver Mike Evans has now scored 590 points in his career. That leaves him just two behind former kicker Martin Gramatica (592) for the all-time scoring lead in Buccaneers history.
• With those two touchdown catches, Evans tied the Raiders' Davante Adams for 12th place on the NFL's all-time list in that category with 96. Evans needs three more scoring grabs to tie Don Hutson (99) for 11th place on that list.
• LB Lavonte David has 33.5 career sacks and needs 1.5 more to pass Chidi Ahanotu (34.5) for seventh place in franchise history.
• Against Denver in Week Three, David forced a fumble for the 29th time in his career. He needs one more forced fumble to join the Chargers' Khalil Mack as the only active players in the NFL with 30 or more.
• WR Chris Godwin has 6,943 career receiving yards. With 57 more he will join Evans as the only players in franchise history to reach the 7,000-yard mark.

NOTABLY QUOTABLE

• Head Coach Todd Bowles on how rookie center Graham Barton has handled the mental aspect of his position: "Graham is playing well – that's why he is starting. Mentally, he is grasping a lot of things, and we expect that when we start a rookie center. We understand that all going in. We don't have any excuses for him. He's out there with the starters, he is out there to do a job, we like the job he is doing right now and he's going to be better and better."
• Quarterback Baker Mayfield on WR Chris Godwin coming through for the offense: "I say it over and over again – [that's the] definition of consistency for him, and Mike [Evans], as well. The amount of years they've done it in a row, and Chris is a reliable guy. [You] say it enough – it's how smart he is, understanding the defense and the coverages, understanding what we're trying to get done within our own concepts and [he's] a guy that is all about winning. He's playing really well, [he] feels good [and] we have to keep him going."
• Bowles on how the team responded today in practice to get the 'bad taste out of their mouths' from Sunday: "It was out on Monday. We had a good practice. We have a 24-hour rule. They came out and they flew around. We're trying to get the gameplan down so we can be ready to play."
• Cornerback Zyon McCollum on the Bucs winning as large underdogs in Detroit and losing as heavy favorites against Denver: "Especially with how young this roster is, everybody needs to know early on that on any given day, any team can win. So if you're not at the best of your game every single Sunday, then you will get exposed."
• Mayfield on what it would mean to have T Luke Goedeke back this week: "Obviously, getting Luke back would be huge for us. Obviously within the pass game but the run game, as well. I don't think he gets enough credit for the type of mauler offensive lineman that he really is. He's improved a ton in the pass protection aspect of it but in the run game, he's huge for us."
• Offensive Coordinator Liam Coen on the play of rookie center Graham Barton: "Graham, he just continues to get better. He's playing at a pretty high level right now. He's doing some good things. We've got to continue that growth – the communication, making sure everybody's on the same page, doing all the right things. But I think he's playing fast, like he is playing pretty fast at times. We've just got to continue to get better, but I'm pleased with him."
• Linebacker Lavonte David on the key to trying to stop Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts from hurting the defense with his running ability: "Just be relentless and physical. That's the main thing. Guys on the back end are doing their jobs to try to make the quarterback go to different reads or whatever, so the guys up front, they've got to be relentless, myself included when I get an opportunity to rush the quarterback. Be relentless and be physical in my assignment, knowing what I'm supposed to do when you're rushing, when you're going against mobile guys like that. At the same time, those guys are talented, man. You can't take anything away from those guys. At the same time, you can't let that beat you."
